s always, the Snack Food Association (SFA) is working hard to provide information and services to our members and focusing on key issues and developments that are important to your businesses. This dedication to service and value has been a hallmark of your association for the past 75 years. Coming soon will be a new SFA tool, a risk assessment template designed to help companies comply with new rules and regulations from the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA). The template will be tailored for specific types of snack food products and designed to make compliance with this complex law as painless as possible. Watch for details in The Snack Report and on www.sfa.org. In addition, SFA will sponsor a basic Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points (HACCP) course for our industry immediately following the Total Quality Management (TQM) course at The Ohio State University in Columbus, OH, Aug. 18. Most companies in our industry must develop detailed HACCP food safety plans to comply with the new law. The TQM program will be held Aug. 12-17 at The Blackwell Inn on Ohio State’s campus. We urge all member companies to participate. As you read this, SFA just completed our 2012 Legislative Summit, during which we met with members of Congress and key staff members to express our views on important issues affecting our industry, including SFA’s opposition to any user fees imposed under FSMA. Visit www.sfa.org for details on this event, which also included a special Capitol Hill reception commemorating SFA’s 75th anniversary. Inside this issue, you will find an article covering the major issues discussed during the summit. Finally, we want to draw your attention to our annual “State of the Industry” report published in this issue. You will find detailed analysis of the industry overall from SymphonyIRI Group, as well as breakdowns of major categories within the snack food industry with analysis of their performance over the past year. We hope you enjoy this issue and find it valuable. We also welcome your comments and suggestions for future articles and content. Sincerely,
SMITH
